Last weekend I was in Stockholm visiting Vårsalongen på Liljewalchs art museum. An inspiring exhibition that showed a variety of art and expression forms. I was struck by the textile works that were represented more than I had expected. There were embroidered, crocheted, applications and paintings on fabric.
The most impressive work of art was.....!
''My previous sewing corner''
I could hardly believe my eyes when I discovered that everything ... absolutely everything was covered with embroidery.
Chair, table, sewing machine, thread roller, shoes, and even the electric plug ..... absolutely fantastic and fun!
It is also a wonderfully well-made pattern .. completely in very tiny cross stitch.
A masterpiece in my eyes!
The artist is Ulla-Stina Wikander who is engaged in dressing ordinary things with cross stitch embroidery .
